Read the following passage about Geothermal Aspects of Climate Change and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

The Earth's interior heat represents an often overlooked dimension of climate change. While most discussions focus on atmospheric warming, changes in our planet's geothermal systems are equally significant. Recent studies indicate that rising global temperatures affect underground heat patterns, potentially altering subsurface water systems and geological stability. These disruptions may intensify volcanic activity and earthquakes in certain regions. Scientists are monitoring these changes carefully to understand the long-term impacts on both natural environments and human settlements.

Geothermal energy offers a sustainable solution amid climate concerns. This renewable resource harnesses heat from within the Earth to generate electricity and provide heating without producing greenhouse gases. Countries like Iceland and New Zealand have successfully implemented geothermal power plants, demonstrating their feasibility. The technology has matured considerably in recent decades, making it more accessible and cost-effective. Despite these advantages, geothermal energy remains underutilized globally, accounting for less than 1% of worldwide electricity production.

Climate change creates both challenges and opportunities for geothermal applications. Shifting temperature patterns may modify the productivity of existing geothermal sites, requiring adaptation strategies. Nevertheless, as fossil fuel restrictions increase, investment in alternative energy sources like geothermal power has accelerated dramatically. This shift has stimulated technological innovation in drilling techniques and reservoir management. The transition toward cleaner energy sources is essential, yet it demands substantial financial commitment and policy support to overcome infrastructure limitations.

The relationship between climate change and geothermal activity represents a critical area for future research. Understanding these interactions could improve climate models and disaster prediction capabilities. Educational institutions have begun incorporating geothermal studies into environmental science programs, preparing the next generation of specialists. International cooperation will be vital to address these complex issues effectively. By recognizing the interconnectedness of atmospheric and geothermal systems, we can develop more comprehensive approaches to mitigating climate change impacts and utilizing Earth's natural resources responsibly.

Question 23: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of geothermal energy?

A. It does not produce greenhouse gases
